Shams Al-Ma'arif The Sun of Gnosis: Part IV: On The science of letters and Names of Allah Paperback – March 31, 2025
by (Author)The Esoteric Sciences of Ahmad al-Buni For centuries, Shams al-Ma'arif al-Kubra has been one of the most enigmatic and influential texts in the realm of Islamic esotericism and occult sciences. Written by the celebrated Sufi mystic Ahmad ibn Ali al-Buni, this work explores the mystical properties of letters, divine invocations, numerology, and talismanic practices—a synthesis of ancient wisdom that has captivated scholars and practitioners alike.
This newly presented Part IV delves deeper into the science of divine names, celestial correspondences, and the construction of talismans, offering a glimpse into a hidden tradition where language, numbers, and spiritual forces converge. This volume includes original talismanic diagrams, preserving the visual components essential to understanding the intricate cosmology of al-Buni’s thought.
Rooted in a tradition that draws from Neoplatonism, Hermeticism, and the mystical teachings of the Brethren of Purity, al-Buni’s writings stand at the crossroads of Sufi mysticism, astrology, and lettrism. This book is not merely a historical artifact but a profound gateway into a world where words and symbols hold the power to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos. Intended for academics, researchers, and students of esotericism, this edition provides the original Arabic text alongside its translation, allowing for a rigorous and faithful study of its contents. It offers invaluable insights into a spiritual science that has shaped esoteric traditions across the centuries. Shams al-Ma'arif remains a work of profound mystery—revered by some, feared by others, but studied by all who seek to understand the deeper forces at play in the universe.
